Abstract
The α2/β; subunits are encoded by four genes
The α2/β subunit is part of voltage-dependent calcium channels
The arrangement of the α2/β subunit in the membrane gives clues as to its interaction with α2/β
The effects of the α2/β subunit on calcium currents depend on the experimental conditions
Role of the α2/β subunit on calcium release
The structure of the α2/β subunit provides evidence for a yet unidentified role of the α2/β; subunit in extracellular signaling
Developmental differences in expression and localization of α2/β -1 and α2/β subunits indicate that these proteins do not always interact with each other
The α2/β subunits interact with other cellular components in addition toα2/β subunits
Link between α2/β subunits and disease
